If you’ve been with Pennies for a while, you may remember a special guest writer, by the name of Ben…aka… my dear husband. Do you remember what he wrote about? You guessed it..milkshakes! He thinks he’s a milkshake connoisseur and I have to admit I think it’s adorable. For Valentine’s Day this year, I […]

It was another warm day yesterday, so I thought it would be fitting to post another ice cream recipe. Maybe I’m getting too excited for Spring. I made this chocolate ice cream last week so I could make milkshakes for me and Ben. (That was just a HUGE hint to my next post tomorrow!) But, […]

My coworker introduced me to this meal. When she first told me about it, I thought she was crazy. The mixture of ingredients just didn’t sound right. After she told me that a friend introduced it to her and many of her friends have tried it and loved it, then it piqued my interest and […]

We love Chick-Fil-A, but there isn’t one yet in the Chicago-land area. Crazy, I know. The closest one is about an hour drive north to Wisconsin (and, yes, we have made the drive just for the chicken!). I needed to find a “go-to” chicken tenders recipe, fast. This is it! The source where I found […]

You do not even know how long I’ve been waiting to make these…and therefore post them. It’s not exactly a penny pinching meal, but even Pennies on a Platter is allowed to splurge once in a while. Every Christmas dinner at my in-law’s involves Mama G’s crab cakes. And, if you haven’t figured it out […]

In celebration of my 2-Year Blog Birthday, I gave away a Cuisinart Ice Cream maker to one of my lucky readers. Jessica was the winner! Jessica’s favorite ice cream is Maggie’s Moo’s Better Batter, which I’ve had myself many times and also love. So, I experimented and came up with what I think is a […]
